Guyana: Leg-spinner Adil Rasheed became the highest wicket-taker for England in T20 World Cup history. He achieved the incredible feat during the semi-final clash of the T20 World Cup 2024 between India and England at the Providence Stadium here on Thursday.
Rashid was the joint-highest wicket-taker for England in the T20 World Cups with former pacer Stuart Broad. However, with the first wicket of the match, he became the leading wicket-taker for the Three Lions, surpassing Broad's tally of 30 wickets. Rashid has taken 29 innings, four more matches, to former pacer (25 innings) to surpass him in the list.
Rashid dismissed Indian skipper Rohit Sharma, who was going all guns blazing, to reach the milestone. Rohit made 57 off 39 balls with six fours and a couple of boundaries.
